Last spring the treasury department be-
gan the construction of a huge vault for
the storage OF silver dollars. There is
now vault OF considerable size in the
basement Of the treasury building, but as
long ago as December last its capacity be-
came practically exhausted. Hundreds
Of visitors 60 down on the elevators daily
to gaze in open eyed wondcrment at the
cords Of ''cartwheels'' piled up in mathe-
matically even rows. This vault is small
compared with the one now being con-
structcd. The new one will hold by care
full storage 105, 900, 900 silver dollars.
Large as this sum is, it is stated Mt the
treasury that there is nearly enough sill
vault. 1t is in the court between the four
walls of the treasury building. 1t is 50
feet long, 81 feet wide, about l5 feet deep,
and rises few feet only above The ground.
There are nine compartments. separated
by iron lattice work partitions, and rivet-
ed together with thousands of iron bolts.
Between the compartments are arranged
straight. narrow aisles, with small doors
opening into the different sections. The
necessary gaslight will be stationed in
these aislcs. When the silver dollars are
in the vault the pressure is all upon the
floor, as the bags are so piled as not to
lean against the partitions. The greatest
skill is required III piling the bags, rs the
least unevcnness might result in upset
| ting the whole pile, and perhaps causing
! them TO fall outward upon the visitors or
employees. Washington Letter.

On some parts Of the coast of Sumatra
and the neighboring islands the fishermen
test the depth Of the sea and also the ma
ture of the sea bottom by the noises they
hear on applying the ear to one end Of III
oar of which the other end is plunged in
the water At depth OF twenty feet and
less the sound is crepitation, similar TO
that produced when salt is thrown on
burning charcoal; at fifty feet it is like
the ticking of watch, the tictac being
more or less rapid, according to whether
the bottom is entirely Of coral or alter
nately of coral and mud. or of sand. II
the bottom is entirely of sand the sound
is clear: if of mud il resembles the hum
ming Of a swarm of bees. On dark nights
the fishermen select their fishery grounds

The extent to which the Welsh language
is employed for literary purposes among
the Welsh is but little understood in Eng
land, where it is very generally supposed
that il prevails more or less as a spoken
language among illiterate Cambrians but
plays little part in the world of letters. Ii
appears, however, that its periodical lit
erature is very extensive, considering
population. There are seventeen weekly
newspapers published in the vernacular in
Wales. with a circulation altogether of
over l20, Geo. There is a monthly Welsh
magazine that can boast OF circulation
of 3..1 .160, and altogether the magazines
published in the vernacular in Wales
soores total of 10000 copies. A lead

Mohamncd Said's Walking Sticks.

Count Ferdinand de Lesseps relates 1,
curious anecdote OF his old friend Mo-
manned Said and his two walking sticks
That prince, when he returned on one
occasion from England, sent for the canal
cutter and showed him two sticks, one of
which had been given him by NJ. de
Lesseps; the other was a present from an
English admiral. 1T often happens. :"
said the prince, that you talk to me
about the canal in the hearing of people
who might retail our conversation at an
inopportune moment. | have therefore
thought il well To obviare this by carry
ing in my hand the English cane when
want You not to say a word about the
canal. When. howe, er. you see me with
you' cane nhe French one, in my hand,

Oriental. and reminds one of the delight

are detailed in the pages Of the Arabian
Nights" 1t appears that Mohammed
said used NJ. de Lesseps' walking stick
until his dying day, and had il beside
him when he breathed his last. 1t was
then lost for a time. but the police found
It in the hands of an Arab, from whom it

THE BRITISH BEEFEATERS.

An Exceedingly Comfortable Time Ar
ranged for Hundred Men.
The "Beefeaters" have an exceedingly
comfortable berth, as there is very little
for the Yeoman Of the Guard to do, and
plenty OF time for him to do it in. There
are about hundred men in this ancient
body, and their services are required only
on special occasions. Clad like beautiful
penwipers and armed with halberds, they

they appear as contemporaries OF the great

In the days Of that queen and her pretie-
cessors. there was deal more for these
picturesque retainers To look after. They
were instituted shortly after the accession
of Henry VII, and had to be regularly on
duty near the sovereign, forty at time
by day and twenty by night. One of their
tasks was to bring up all the dishes for
the royal table and deliver them to the
servers, and rs the journey from the
kitchens Ia the banqueting hall was a

Half starved men and women can never
be happy, and an exclusive diet o. pota-
toes, no matter how large the quantity
used, will only serve TO maintain people
in a feeble, half starved, revolutionary,
quarrelsome condition.
William Goblet once wrote that the
ruin Of Ireland would result from the cul-
tivation of that dirty root" the potato.
Adam Smith declared years ago that Eng
Land would some day have to support Ire
land if potato culture was not abandoned
for the raising of other soil products. He
believed that the same extent of land
which would grow food for one person in
England would support four in Ireland.
The soil is better, the climate is better.
and the only need is to throw seed pota.
toes into the sea, and plant wheat. oats.

1t is well enough to know just how Rob
ert Todd Lincoln appears and feels just
about now. and New York Tribune ad-
vises us IS follows:
There is q substantial solid look about
Robert T. Lincoln which gives him more
the appearance Of business man than Q
lawyer or . statesman. He has . high.
square forehead, large pugnacious nose.
and q heavy beard Of brown whiskers which
are trimmed with square cut and parted
in the center. Mr.. Lincoln has been in
Baltimore for . week, and came over to
New York to remain for two or three days
before going to Chicago. He is entirely de-
voted to the legal profession, and is simple
and unaffected in his statement that he dis
likes even the possibility Of his connection
with politics. Nevertheless, his interest in
the success Of the Republican party is sin
c0re.

The Buffalo ErcniRg Nelrs, owned by
Mr.. E. II. Butler, the man who discovered
and doomed Grover Cleveland, as a presi-
Dental candidate, now says, in its issue OF
Saturday:
The position taken by the Commercial
and other republican organs that the cleo
tion of the democratic state ticket this year
By no means places the state surely in the
democratic column next year is decidedly a
sound one. The presidential contest will
be fought out Oh the merits of party, plat
form and candidates, not on the issue Of
yYvious campaigns. The illustration from
sne elections of 1888 and 1854 is sufficient
70 demonstrate the fact. Independent of
Maynard. who was beaten on personal
grounds. the democratic ticket in 1883 had
1000 plurality. in 1854 Grover Cleveland
carried the state by but little over /. 600. Two
yean before. by the way. he had 1872. 900.
New York Is the state of the independent
voters, and Q very large majority one year
